Hayley Kiyoko’s “Girls Like Girls” has come full circle. The RIAA gold-certified anthem, released June 24, 2015, now inspires her directorial debut, arriving in theaters June 19 via Focus Features. The 2015 music video, co-directed with Austin S. Winchell, drew over 161 million YouTube views and later became a 2023 New York Times best-selling YA novel. The film stars Maya da Costa and Myra Molloy. Kiyoko added, “There’s no female anthem for a girl stealing another guy’s girl,’ and that is the coolest thing ever.”
